<strong>iLinc</strong> Reports Removal of Going Concern Provision in Audit Opinion<br />
PHOENIX, Arizona (June 29, 2006) – <strong>iLinc</strong> Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), a leading developer of<br />
Web conferencing software <strong>and</strong> audio conferencing solutions, today reported that the going concern<br />
paragraph has been removed from the audit opinion contained in <strong>iLinc</strong>’s Form 10-K report.<br />
The Going Concern assumption in Generally Accepted Auditing St<strong>and</strong>ards (SAS 59, The Auditor’s<br />
Consideration of an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern) requires an auditor to evaluate<br />
conditions or events that raise questions about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.<br />
Typically, if an auditor has concerns about a firm’s ability to continue as a going concern, the audit<br />
opinion will contain a paragraph outlining issues regarding this uncertainty. In its recently filed Form 10-<br />
K for the year ended March 31, 2006, <strong>iLinc</strong>’s auditors did not include any such going concern uncertainty<br />
paragraph in their audit opinion.<br />
“Having the going concern issue removed from our auditor’s opinion for fiscal year 2006 is a significant<br />
accomplishment <strong>and</strong> an important step in our overall plan,” said <strong>James</strong> M. Powers, <strong>Jr</strong>., president <strong>and</strong> chief<br />
executive officer of <strong>iLinc</strong> Communications. “Some of our competitors had attempted to use this provision<br />
to scare potential customers away from <strong>iLinc</strong>, but that tactic will no longer be available. Instead<br />
customers will be free to focus on the merits of our award-winning feature set <strong>and</strong> our unique licensing<br />
options that we believe give <strong>iLinc</strong> a sustainable competitive advantage. Having the stigma associated<br />
with a going concern provision removed we hope will increase confidence to not only potential customers<br />
but also to investors. We laid a solid financial foundation in the later part of fiscal year 2006, our<br />
operating fundamentals are strong <strong>and</strong> our employees are intensely focused on executing our strategy to<br />
accelerate the growth of the company,” further remarked Dr. Powers.<br />
